Profile:
Trevor Bailey was a fixture in the England side for many years,
with his best years being the 1950's. He was a genuine
all-rounder, an effective fast-medium bowler, able to swing the
ball in the air, and move it off the wicket. He was capable of
bowling genuinely quick at times. An excellent fielder, he is
probably best remembered for his defensive skills with the bat,
and could be very hard to remove from the crease. Famously, he
and Watson batted out most of the last day to save the 1953
Lord's Test v Australia, making a huge contribution to
England's regaining the Ashes. An astute tactician he captained
his county, but never England. In later years a regular on the
BBC's Test Match Special radio broadcasts, and the Financial
Times' cricket correspondent. Bradman wrote of him
"His batting was so
often destined to occupy the role of saving rather than
winning a match.
In his bowling there was also emphasis on economy, but so often
his swing and cut succeeded where the more illustrious
names failed."
(Dave Liverman, Jan 1998)
